Japan is a sovereign island nation located off the eastern coast of Asia. The capital of Tokyo is Japan, and its national language is Japanese. The country also has numerous recognised regional languages. Japan is divided into eight regions, with 47 prefectures. With a population around 127 million, Japan is one of the globe’s largest countries, although it falls just shy of the top 10. Japan’s economy is one of the biggest in the world, and the country is a member of several key groups including the UN, G20 and more.

The Japanese Yen is the official currency of Japan. The currency is widely used as a reserve currency, as it is considered to be one of the most stable currencies. It is also one of the most heavily traded currencies in the world. The Japanese Government has, form some time, maintained a policy of currency intervention. The government looks to keep the yen value low through a trade surplus. Japan’s current low-to-zero interest rate monetary policy may also keep the value of its currency from advancing too far.

If you are looking to buy gold in Japan, or if you simply want to see current prices, you will likely see prices quoted in yen. Prices may, however, also be quoted in additional key global currencies such as U.S. Dollars, euros or Great British Pounds. The price of gold is typically quoted by the ounce, gram or kilo.

The Japanese economy is the third largest in the world behind the United States and China. Japan has the world’s second largest developed economy. The country is involved in numerous areas of industry including electronics, machine tools, textiles, chemicals, ships, nonferrous metals, motor vehicles, teel and more. Japan is a leader in global technology, and the nation today focuses its manufacturing efforts on high-tech and precision goods.

The Japan Mint produces both Japanese circulation coinage as well as commemorative coins and medals. The mint has produced a number of commemorative gold coins such as the 60th Year Of The Emperor On The Throne 100,000 Yen Gold Coin. The coin was produced from 1986 to 1987, and has a weight of 20 grams.

Although collectible coins may make a nice addition to any coin collection or portfolio, they may have some drawbacks as well. Collectible coins and proof coins tend to carry significantly higher premiums when compared to bullion bars or bullion coins. The collectibility premiums on such coins can and do fluctuate, and an investor could potentially lose money on such coins even if the price of gold were to rise. Collectible or numismatic coins may be best left to those who are very knowledgeable in that arena.

For those simply looking to acquire as many total ounces of gold bullion as possible, bullion gold bars and coins may provide the best overall value. With lower premiums and typically solid liquidity, bars and bullion coins can be a great vehicle for building a gold portfolio.
